Official Writes to Guterres, Deplores UN’s One-Sided Reports on Human Rights in Iran
Rokna: In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Head of the Iranian Judiciary's High Council for Human Rights Ali Baqeri Kani slammed the United Nations for producing “flawed” and one-sided reports on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic.
“Regardless of all the formal and substantive flaws on the issuance of the UN General Assembly political Resolution on the human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the current flawed and defective process, which results in nothing other than human rights abuses and distortion of the UN human rights mechanisms and politicization of the sacred concept of human rights, one should notice that according to the provisions of the Resolution A / RES / 74/167, the mandate of the Secretary-General is specifically to "report on the progress made in the implementation of the Resolution". Therefore, from a logical point of view, this report should have considered both the positive and negative aspects of the human rights situation, and in addition to mentioning allegations of human rights violations, cases of protection and promotion of the human rights situation should have also been considered; but, unfortunately, the present report, regardless of the correctness or the falseness of the allegations and accusations contained in it, is completely focused on the negative cases and allegations, and the efforts, measures, and actions resulting in the promotion of the human rights situation in Iran are not included and have no place in it,” Baqeri Kani wrote.
